The Good: close to the harbor and walking distance to the pier and downtown. Seemed recently renovated. The Bad: horrible mattress and pillows; lumpy and hard. "Happy Hour" was a small shelf by the door with an open bottle of wine and a bowl of grapes. Plastic cups. The dining area was 10 steps away but they chose to keep it by the door and seemed very proud of their "offering". The larger common area where they served breakfast had a bad smell the whole time we were there. Breakfast itself was mid at best. Low effort for the price you're paying. Then, our room was on the end and there was banging on one of the exterior walls directly behind our bed all night. All in all, would not recommend. Much nicer places to be had for the same price or only a little more.

Great location across from the harbor. We had a king room with harbor view & balcony. It’s on a busy corner so it wasn’t quiet but nighttime wasn’t too bad. Staff were super friendly! Many restaurants within walking distance & the pathways along the beach were amazing!

I tried to talk to someone at the front desk ant one point and there was nobody available even though I saw someone in there when I was driving in. When I tried to call the front desk, no answer. The door lock is flimsy and won’t properly lock and there's no top deadbolt. Despite having the DO NOT DISTURB sign on my door handle and check out being at 12, I was abruptly awoken by someone REPEATEDLY knocking on the door aggressively at 10am and then an hour later, another person knocked on my door. What's the point of the DO NOT DISTURB sign if it's going to be repeatedly ignored? I had barely slept and had a rough night only to get startled awake by aggressive knocking way earlier than I wanted to be awake. This place wasn’t totally horrific compared to other places but too many issues for my liking and I definitely wouldn’t stay there again. The only things I liked was the beach view, balcony, and the spacious room. Other than those things, there’s not much positive things I could say about this hotel.
